Oyster is a cybersecurity AI assistant made by [Red Orca](https://redorca.tech/). Ask it how an attack works and how to detect and prevent it. With a free account you can also ask about your own files and get answers that cite the passages they used, plan authorized tests inside a scope you declare, and work through incident evidence in SOC Copilot.

Oyster explains and plans. It has no access to your systems and runs nothing against them.

## What Oyster is today

### Without an account

Chat about security engineering, one message a day. The conversation stays in your browser and is never used for training.

### With a free account

No daily limit, saved history, a choice of models, and the full workspace: your files, Red Team, Blue Team, Security Intelligence and Findings.

Running tools against real hosts and connecting live security monitoring (SIEM) systems are not offered to accounts. See [Access and accounts](https://documentation.redorca.ai/get-started/access/) for exactly what each level includes.
